don't mean to "hate" or derail the thread, but can someone tell me what i'm missing with this dude?
his joints sound very 'poppy' to me.
Yes, his joints are very very "Pop orientated".
That's why you go to Ameen.You go to Ameen when you want a beat that is going to have ma** appeal.Something that is going to get you radio play.
I have told Ameen that I dont like some of his beats and I gave him reasons as well.
But:
Ameen is a trained musician who plays the guitar as well as the piano.He is schooled in sound engineering.
this comes to the fore when you listen to his beats...they have that "crisp" element.
And , (I'm not a producer) but they always have this "full" sound.
Ameen builds beats from scratch.
I LOVE PRODUCERS WHO SAMPLE ( Like Hipe, Ooz and Nyambz who astound me in their ability)
But .....there is also something magical about building a beat entirely from the foundation up.
that's my five cents.
at trompie...I have said this many times before ..you do good work.
keep it up my brother
